He pointed out that during the past 100 days, Gaza witnessed “the enormity of death, destruction, displacement, hunger, loss, and grief in the past 100 days that stains our shared humanity.”
He considered that “the last 100 days are like 100 years for the residents of Gaza,” and said that most Gazans will carry the physical and psychological wounds resulting from the attacks for life.
